Most guides list what the card covers. The gaps matter more, because that is where a trip goes wrong — a venue that left the card two years ago, an extra sold on top of an included ticket, or a museum that was free to everyone all along. Here is all of it, in one place.
These are the ones that catch people out, because the guides saying otherwise are still online.
At these venues the card gets you in, and the thing you came for costs extra on top.
These are not excluded — nobody pays for them. They are listed because a free museum counted as a saving is a saving that does not exist, and several card comparisons do exactly that.
No. Rundetaarn stopped being included on 1 April 2024 and has not been covered since. Adult admission is 40 DKK (about €5), paid at the door. Many guides — some published in 2026 — still list it as free with the card. They are out of date.
No. Both cards cover garden entry, so you can walk the park, see the buildings and the gardens without paying. The rides are separate: a wristband is 309–349 DKK, roughly €41–47, and the price moves with the date. Card holders can buy one without paying garden entry again, and at a discount through a dedicated link.
No. The National Aquarium stopped participating in 2026. It is the single biggest attraction to have left the card, and any list that still shows it is describing the 2025 card rather than the current one.
Not any more. Restaurant discounts were removed from both cards in 2026. The card is now an attractions-and-transport product with no dining component at all, so budget for food entirely separately.
No. Museum entry is covered on the Discover card, including the ship hall, the boatyard and the guided tours. The summer sailings on the reconstructed boats are 300 DKK per adult and are not card-covered — they are the most photographed part of the museum, which is why people arrive assuming otherwise.
No. The card covers the Home of Carlsberg exhibition, and that ticket already includes a 40cl draft beer, soda or water. The beer tasting and the cellar tour are paid add-ons at 120–140 DKK on top, and are not included on either card.
No. The Discover card covers Ordrupgaard's museum admission, and the art park is open to all visitors, but the Finn Juhl House is a separate 75 DKK ticket on top — children included on weekdays. Tuesday to Friday it is guided access only, about 45 minutes, and must be booked ahead.
We have not been able to confirm it either way, so this page does not claim it in either direction. The permanent collection is covered on both cards. SMK's temporary exhibitions are 130–175 DKK and whether the card covers them is unresolved — ask at the desk when you scan in.
The David Collection, the Church of Our Lady, the Magasin du Nord Museum, the Kastrupgaard Collection, Møstings and the VILLUM Window Collection all charge nothing, card or no card. They are worth visiting and they are not worth counting — a free museum adds nothing to what the card saves you.
